A Pro Series Rhoads in the Randy Rhoads legacy, designed for modern metal

The Rhoads is one of Jackson's most iconic shapes, directly associated with Randy Rhoads' legacy. This RRT-3 from the Pro Series retains the aggressive "V" spirit while adopting a design and electronics tailored to current demands: sharper attack, denser gain, and increased stability, without sacrificing the premium playability expected in this range.

For whom and for which styles?

The Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an ultra-efficient V guitar for saturated styles: heavy metal, thrash, hard rock, modern metal, and lower-tuned riffs. Its fast neck and high-output pickups also make it very comfortable for lead playing, with quick runs and controlled bends across the entire neck.

The sound

The mahogany body adds weight in the low-midrange and warmth that thickens rhythm parts, while the maple neck-through construction promotes long sustain and a more even response across positions. The ebony fingerboard enhances definition and attack precision, particularly useful for palm-muting and fast playing. On the electronics side, the Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups (SH-6 at the bridge, SH-6N at the neck) deliver tight lows, incisive mids, and cutting highs: perfect for a "roaring" distortion while maintaining surprisingly clear cleans with the right volume and tone settings. The Jackson TOM-style adjustable string-through-body bridge contributes to stability and sustain, ideal for energetic pick playing.

Recommended compatible accessories
